FREE Online Crime Prevention Presentations
WHO — The Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre (CACPC)
WHAT — During the month of May, the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre is offering a series of FREE online crime prevention presentations.
Alberta’s Crime Prevention Week is May 10 to May 16, 2020. The Government of Alberta dedicates this week to crime prevention because they believe all Albertans deserve to feel safe in their communities. Through programs, grants and services, the Crime Prevention and Restorative Justice Unit engages local communities to take part in reducing crime risk and promoting positive behaviour.
Normally, during the month of May, CACPC holds our Touch-A-Truck event, a public education event, and a Graffiti Clean event in the downtown. However, due to COVID-19, those community activities have been cancelled.
However, we are offering crime prevention presentations via Zoom beginning May 12th. Topics will include:
- Crime Prevention for Your Home
- Crime Prevention for Your Condo
- Removing & Reporting Graffiti
- Crime Prevention for Your Business
- CACPC & Wise Owls: Fraud & Scams for Seniors
- Basic Personal Safety Tips.
Each presentation is approximately 45 – 60 minutes in length and is offered twice daily.
WHERE — To register, please visit our website (cacpc.ca), our Facebook page, or EventBrite. You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom meeting link to join the presentations.
WHEN — May 12-14, (Tuesday – Thursday) and May 19-21 (Tuesday – Thursday); 10:00 AM or 2:00 PM.
WHY — The mission of the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre is to engage, educate and empower residents to increase community safety.

We’ve received a donation of use of a Dodge Caravan from Southside Dodge- they’ve been an incredible support of us over the years. Attached is the photo we took at the dealership when we picked up the keys on Friday.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta, Red Deer House is truly grateful to Matt Swainson and his entire team at Southside Dodge for their steadfast support of our work to keep families together during the unimaginable hardship of the need to travel for medical treatment for their sick or injured child. Our House is not a nice to have, but a need to have, and we are honoured to work with such an amazing community partner in Southside. The use of the 2021 Dodge Caravan will help us to keep our operating costs down so that we can focus on our work to keep families close.
We have operated in the city for over 8 years, ensuring there is a safe and comfortable place for families to rest while they focus on the recovery of their child(ren).
We are grateful to everyone in Red Deer who supports us! 😊

Smiles Thru Lindsey reaching out with a new video message and urging Albertans to look out for each other at this challenging time
The holiday season is well behind us, we’re heading into the coldest part of the winter, and although the days are starting to grow longer there’s still a definite lack of daylight in our lives. The winter blues are a real thing and this year we have COVID, a whole new serious problem to add to our mental health issues.
COVID is also the reason the Smiles Thru Lindsey team has not been able do public events for many months. Unable to reach out physically through school visits and fund raisers, Smiles Thru Lindsey is reminding Central Albertans to check in on each other. Also, please follow the Smiles Thru Lindsey Facebook page . They’ll lead you to the resources you or your loved ones need right away.
Meet Lindsey and the Smiles Thru Lindsey team in this powerful video. …And remember to check in on the people in your life.
